Is this being run through ny amp that might color the sound different what it sounds like stock? I'm looking at buying of these but what to make sure mine would sound as good as this. Thanks

@jgk381

This was played through an amp and recorded by a very cheap camcorder. So it does sound different in reality. However, it sounds very good, there's not much difference between input and output signal at all.

ur Lucky this BASF tape wasnt ended up in powder!!

[DrCassette]

Usually BASF tapes have a some powder on them, but I let them run through a towel to rub the dust off the tape. Then, after a few more plays, the tape is in a perfect shape again! BASF tapes are really reliable.

Where do you get recorded reels from?

[DrCassette]

@ryanthescooterguy

Ebay, flea markets, thrift stores...

Hello DrCassette I need buy a tape which brand recommend you? and like buy aluminiun reels, use 7 or 10 inches?

Thanks

@DrCassette great, thanks. I'm not really experienced with these older tape machines. Will I need to use an amp with it, in order for it to play? I don't have an amp.

i have the same exact unit except mine tends to start dragging when i gets towards the end of the tapes i believe it's a belt issue
